The abrahamic religion sets up an us vs them mentality. We're all sinners, but the one who worship god are getting to heaven. Everyone else is going to hell, so why bother with them? If they won't convert, then don't throw pearls before swine.

It's ironic that often the ones who think they're more moral are actually less moral, because of how closed off they are.

I can't say I find this all that surprising.  The most judgmental people I have ever known were christians (isn't there text in their book that tells them not to do that?)  Undecided

We had a guy here - and I shit you not - who, when I pointed out that bit to him, claimed that Jesus personally told him he could ignore that part.

As a religious child I was both extremely generous and extremely judgmental.
I looked down on others for not aiming for the same ridiculous standard.

That being said if I still had an inner child I would pay to be put into a temporary coma so I could meet him in a dream and slap his chubby little face till it was red raw.

Why would that surprise you? Right now, this very day, we've got a guy on the lose, claiming to be the son of god.

To be fair, he's offering more evidence than Jesus did. At least he is writing something down in his own lifetime.

Interesting! This doesn't surprise me either. Thanks for the info Smile
